Dimming Thermostat Heat Mat

If you want a constant surface temperature for example a hatchling snake rack then the pulse proportional offers very accurate control and a continually warm mat rather than a hot cold cycle.

Dimming thermostat heat mat.

Prorep heat mats have been tested with all microclimate thermostats. This dimmer comes with two plug sockets a male and a female making their use very easy. It means that using a thermostat is important irrespective of the heat source you re using but if it s a pad you can go for a dimming thermostat because it changes temperature in a subtle way and your pet never feels uncomfortable. With a reliable single output capable of sustaining reptile heating equipment up to 600 watts minimum 40w the habistat dimming thermostat is perfect for heat bulbs basking bulbs and even just light bulbs ensuring your reptile gets both the heat and light it requires to thermos regulate metabolise and digest their food efficiently contributing to their overall health and wellbeing.

Controls heating devices up to 600w. Many mats now come with a built in thermostat controller but you ll be better off getting a standalone thermostat to manage things in a more reliable way. The habistat dimming thermostat is designed for controlling light bulbs providing one of the most accurate methods of temperature control. A heat mat can be controlled with a dimming thermostat if the combined load with more than one heater attached exceeds 40 watts.

Dimming pulse proportional function controls terrarium temperatures very accurately. The first consideration you ll need to make is what type of heater you ll be controlling with your thermostat. If you opt for a heat mat then you ll want a mat stat if you opt for a heat lamp then a dimming thermostat is most suitable whilst for most other situations such as ceramic heaters a pulse thermostat will be the perfect solution.

From 10 c up to 60 c 50 f 140 f red led and heating symbol will indicate when heating device is on. Always control heat mats with the appropriate thermostat. Daytime and nighttime temperature can be set separately. In other words if you connect a ceramic heater the thermostat will send just enough power or reduce the flow of electricity just enough to maintain the perfect temperature.

For the most accurate temperature control a pulse proportional or dimming thermostat should be used. Though the dimming thermostat can also be used with heat mats or ceramic heaters it won t be quite as effective as a pulse thermostat so we would only really use this for basking light. Push button dial system to avoid accidental setting or tampering. Heat mat and strips can be used with on off dimmer or pulse proportional thermostats.

Simply connect your heat mat heat cable ceramic heater or heat bulb to the exo terra day night thermostat set the preferred daytime and nighttime temperatures and place the heat sensor in the desired spot.
